You said there is no evidence that Highlands O is better this year and I am not ready to say they are yet. But I will say this years WR's is they strongest I have ever seen and QB throws a very very good ball. The WR's go 9 deep with very little drop off from 1-9. They have height and speed and all 9 have alot of catches an TD's. they sub 4WR's each play. And I do feel JC's weakness against highlands is pass D.

Man I been saying stuff like this since I got on BGR about the mountain area teams need to work more on the pass game on both sides of the ball. Back in the day just about all Highschool teams would run 90% of the time but this is 2013. That three yards and a cloud of dust stuff only works IMO on another prodominantly run team. If a team can do both well or even if they are 90% pass and are good at it then a run team just can't put up the points quick enough to stay in the game especially when it is a playoff or champion caliber team. To me if you can run and throw well then you have a defense on edge all game trying to figure out what you will do next but if you do the same thing every time then a good defense can stack the box, pin their ears back and and shut you down or at least slow you enough that you get behind in the score with all the quick scores from the pass. Let me say this again if you can only run and the other team knows this and they have a good defense they can and will stop or slow you enough to win the game 90% of the time. If you did a study on every High school champion team in the last 10 years in this country, I would love to know how many of those teams were either all run, all pass or balanced. I would bet all I have that it would be a landslide in favor of balance, 2nd would be all pass and all run would be last. I do believe in doing what you are best at the most ,but if all you ever hardly work on is run and run D then that is all you will ever be the best at. Why not work hard and develop both. I would love to hear one good reason why anyone would not want to be a balanced team. The #1 excuse I ever get is "we just don't have the right kind of kids for that kind of ball right now". Ever notice that those teams are always one dimensional every year. I will give you 3 quesses and the first two don't count on why that is. It is because all the teams, coaches, kids and parents in this area think about is the run game. Every kid dreams of being the next star rb. Just about all they do in little league is run, middle school is run and so on and so on.
